The Day the Earth Stood Still

“From out of space...A warning and an ultimatum.”

A flying saucer comes down in Washington, D.C., and the soldiers surrounding it open fire on the tall visitor who steps out, Klaatu (Michael Rennie), with a towering robot standing at his back. Robert Wise follows him as he slips away and takes a room at a boarding house, where Helen Benson (Patricia Neal) and her son Bobby (Billy Gray) live. Klaatu has a message for the whole planet, and he has to find someone willing to hear it.
